Creature Loot: B

Carrying forward with the letter B! If you're suffering from a Confusion spell, check out my explanation.

Banshee (4) – undead (religion)

2d6 50GP art objects

1 Vial of Ectoplasm: No immediate use. Can be crafted (alchemist’s supplies) into a Potion of Invisibility or an Oil of Etherealness.

1 Pinch of Spirit Dust: Acts as Dust of Disappearance.

Basilisk (3) – monstrosity (nature)

1 Basilisk Eye: When held, a creature can use the eye to cast Stone to Flesh (save DC 12). This consumes the eye.

1 Basilisk fang: Acts as a dagger. Can be crafted (smith’s tools) into a dagger that deals an additional 3 (1d6) poison damage on a hit.

1 Basilisk Stomach: No immediate use. Can be mastercrafted (alchemist’s supplies) into a salve that ends the petrified condition on a creature it is applied to.

Behir (11) – monstrosity (nature)

4d4 Behir Claws: Act as daggers that can cut through dragon scales, dealing an additional 3 (1d6) piercing damage when it hits a Dragon. 20 claws can be mastercrafted (smith’s tools) into a Dragon Slayer.

2 Behir Fangs: Act as daggers. Can be crafted (smith’s tools) into a dagger that deals an additional 5 (1d10) lightning damage on a hit.

3 Half-digested Corpses: The DM selects one humanoid, one beast, and one dragon. One item from each can be salvaged from the Behir’s guts. This could be adventuring gear, weapons, or loot that would have been otherwise salvageable from the creatures.

Beholders

I found a big pokey stick and it's going in your eye, buddy

Beholder (13) – aberration (arcana)

1 Large Beholder Eye: Requires attunement. While attuned, the holder can cast Antimagic Field once per day. The holder cannot be surprised while attuned to the eye. Because of the feeling of being watched, everyone within 30 feet of the eye takes an extra hour to gain a long rest. Can be mastercrafted (smith’s tools) into a grotesque Sentinel Shield. The holder of the shield cannot be surprised while attuned to it. Because of the feeling of being watched, everyone within 30 ft. of the shield takes an extra hour to gain a long rest.

4 Small Beholder Eyes: Acts as an arcane focus. An eye can cast a particular beholder ray once per day. The ray is chosen randomly by the DM upon receiving the eye.

1 Vial of Beholder Slime: Acts as Oil of Slipperiness.

4 Beholder Eyestalks: Acts as a club. 4 of them may be mastercrafted (conjuration) by a spellcaster to summon a Spectator to guard a location for 101 years.

3 Sets of Armor: The DM selects 3 sets of armor left from a Beholder’s victims.

In Lair: Treasure Hoard (11-16)

Death Tyrant (14) – undead (religion)

1 Large Spectral Eye: Requires attunement. While attuned, the holder can cast Circle of Death once per day. Any creature killed this way becomes a zombie, which obeys the holder of the eye as long as they are attuned to it. The holder cannot be surprised while attuned to the eye. Because of the feeling of being watched, everyone within 30 ft. of the eye takes an extra hour to gain a long rest.

6 Small Spectral Eyes: Acts as an arcane focus or holy symbol. An eye can cast a particular death tyrant ray once per day. The ray is chosen randomly by the DM upon receiving the eye.

2 Vials of Ectoplasm: No immediate use. Can be crafted (alchemist’s supplies) into a potion of Invisibility or an Oil of Etherealness.

4 Sets of Armor: The DM selects 4 sets of armor left from a Death Tyrant's victims.

1 Hideous Skull: No immediate use. Can be carefully crafted (alchemist’s tools) into a Potion that acts as a Raise Dead spell, except that the target must currently be undead for the spell to take effect. This potion returns the creature to life as per the spell, despite the fact that the creature is undead.

In Lair: Treasure Hoard (11-16)

Spectator (3) – aberration (arcana)

1 Large Spectator Eye: Acts as an arcane focus. The eye can cast a particular spectator ray once per day. The ray is chosen randomly by the DM upon receiving the eye.

1 Spectator Hide: No immediate use. Can be mastercrafted (smith’s tools) into a shield of spell reflection. The shield requires attunement. If the bearer of the shield, while attuned, makes a successful saving throw against a spell, or a spell attack misses it, the bearer can choose another creature (including the spellcaster) it can see within 30 feet of it. The spell targets the chosen creature instead of the bearer of the shield. If the spell forced a saving throw, the chosen creature makes its own save. If the spell was an attack, the attack roll is rerolled against the chosen creature.

1 Spectator Tongue: Acts as a whip that deals necrotic damage instead of slashing damage on a hit.
